Almost like a Keane painting: cute…

…but underneath lurks something not quite human. ;)

But those eyes are so compelling, they can’t help but draw you in.

This is how children survive. They can be the most strident, demanding creatures you’ve ever encountered in your life, but one look like this and a rational, reasoning, even logical adult is utterly disarmed.
